I laughed. It was funny but cruel (staged or not). Comedy is not pretty. The way I see it is the Mexican and China economy is doing great and that is because of the inexpensive labor. The American economy is doing great due to running huge deficits to Mexico and China. Maybe if we get all their cheap labor here, we can afford to make all those stupid little piece of crap things we get from China and Mexico here and then reduce our deficit? Will it put natural born Americans out of work? Some? but others will have the chance to be management and whatnot. It was the basic model for America when we first started. The Irish we the Bosses, the italians got the lousy jobs. Then after they assimilated, the next ethnic group came in and worked their way up.

HAHAHAHA Yea this was a good movie. I can't believe any of you have not seen it. I think it's a National Lampoons dvd.... Let me go try to find it. My favorite part was when he went into a dry cleaning place and there was a black guy working there and he tried to get some white sheet with a hood (kkk robes) dry cleaned. It was freakin hilarious. I'll go try to find the title now..... **EDIT** Ok I found it, it's National Lampoons: Lost Reality and I'll tell you the second one is better than the first! All I will is is ipicak or however you spell it. ahhahahahah SICK! Watch it it's funny but if you're very like... well if this offended you then don't watch it but it IS A MOVIE!

Get me? Illeagal aliens, immigrants, wetbacks...etc. call them what you want, but they're still humans and I see them suffer on a daily basis just to feed they're families. Once again, I apologize. I admit I took it personal.

(Sort of) Although I didn't know it was a movie it's easy to tell that it wasn't real due to all the different camera angles, sound quality, and professional editing. You can always tell when a couple of fools grab a video-cam and start filming crap -- just check out most of YouTube!

I admit I took it personal. Belive me man, I know what you're talking about. I come from the warehouse background as a forklift driver ($14+hr) I used to see the immigrants get f*cked as order pickers/janitors etc as well. The truth of the matter is quite frankly its sad...like you said, we're all just trying to live. The problem is the immigration laws are so FU*KED that only the middle class or higher mexicans/chilean/enter latin american country native here) really have a chance to get into america. Do I think that people should be allowed to immigrate here? DUH!!!! Thats what our country was founded on. "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses" But honestly I think that it should be done LEGALLY...if that means re-writing a few laws then thats how it needs to be. But learning english is a must.... I didnt go to mexico and expect them to translate everything into english for me... I took the time to learn spanish in high school.

so it's ok if undocumented mexicans come over? what if undocumented middle easterners come over is that ok? I don't care about race or religion I have the most diverse friends ever but illegal doesn't mean anything to some people these days. How do you know they are here to work and feed their families back home? I am sure it heps you sleep better thinking that but what about the ones who fled their country to escape prosecution for crimes like rape, drug dealing, and murder etc... ? Honestly does it matter why they are here if they are illegal? There are people who apply for citizenship and come here the right way and that is great and I truly hope they find a better life for them and their families but for someone to see an immigrant and assume they are here just to work instead of steal or kill it blows my mind. The same people who think it is ok for a mexican to build roofs here typically would not feel the same if a middle eastern person who is illegal was working with explosives, and it is not any different because they are undocumented and therefore we don't know anything about either of them. So big ups to people coming here through applying for citizenship and those jumping the border can suck it for disobeying my country's laws the minute they step on our soil because they feel entitled. I am sorry your country sucks but you should be trying to fix it instead of abandoning it.

1. The guy is a cruel asshole. 2. quote:
A commentary on a study from by George Borjas and Lawrence Katz of Harvard Quote: First, the net benefits to the U.S. economy from immigration, aside from the large gains to the immigrants themselves, are small. Realistic estimates suggest that immigration since 1980 has raised the total income of native-born Americans by no more than a fraction of 1 percent. Second, while immigration may have raised overall income slightly, many of the worst-off native-born Americans are hurt by immigration — especially immigration from Mexico. Because Mexican immigrants have much less education ... they increase the supply of less-skilled labor, driving down the wages of the worst-paid Americans. The most authoritative recent study ... by George Borjas and Lawrence Katz of Harvard, estimates that U.S. high school dropouts would earn as much as 8 percent more if it weren't for Mexican immigration. That's why it's intellectually dishonest to say, as President Bush does, that immigrants do "jobs that Americans will not do." The willingness of Americans to do a job depends on how much that job pays — and the reason some jobs pay too little to attract native-born Americans is competition from poorly paid immigrants. Finally, ... our social safety net has more holes in it than it should — and low-skill immigrants threaten to unravel that safety net. ... Unfortunately, low-skill immigrants don't pay enough taxes to cover the cost of the benefits they receive. a "guest worker" program is clearly designed by and for corporate interests, who'd love to have a low-wage work force that couldn't vote. Not only is it deeply un-American; it does nothing to reduce the adverse effect of immigration on wages. And because guest workers would face the prospect of deportation after a few years, they would have no incentive to become integrated into our society.... 3.Conclusion? Everyone in this sorry video is a racist, a hater, and/or a law breaker.

It's not real, no one in the video is anything but actors. Yea it's wrong that some people relate to the character but in the end it's just a big spoof of reality tv shows and viral videos, etc. You can rent this movie at your local Family Video
